Slow cooker pumpkin black bean chicken chili, from Eat at Home

When canned pumpkin purée goes on sale every October, I fill the pantry so I can make soups and breads right through the winter. If you have canned pumpkin and a rotisserie chicken, or leftover roast or baked chicken, you can toss them into the slow cooker with a few more ingredients from the pantry, and five hours later, you'll have this gorgeous chili that's sure to please the entire family. If you're serving this for a grown-up crowd, you can add a few shakes of hot sauce, to your taste.
